Nestled amongst the Perth hills and its iconic Australian bushland is the Araluen Botanic Park; a breathtakingly beautiful park that is situated within an equally as charming setting.
Araluen Botanic Park and all of its natural beauty can be found within the bountiful hills of Roleystone. Located inside the Darling Range, these unique gardens are only a short 35km drive, south-east of the Perth CBD
